What is MusicOrb API?

MusicOrb is a REST API that lets you:

• Generate songs from text prompts (any genre, mood, BPM)
• Create cinematic music videos — AI-generated visuals with Ken Burns effects, smooth transitions, and synced lyrics burned into the video
• Create comic-style videos — illustration-based videos from reference images with lyric overlays
• Sync lyrics with word-level timestamps — lyrics are automatically overlaid on videos, or use the raw timestamps for your own UI
• Get song concepts (title, genre, mood) without generating audio

One API call. No ML infrastructure needed.

Two video modes:

• advanced — Cinematic AI-generated visuals

Sync Lyrics

node sync-lyrics.js <trackId>

Returns word-level timestamps — perfect for karaoke, subtitles, or lyric videos:

[  0.50s -   0.85s]  Late
[  0.85s -   1.20s]  night
[  1.20s -   1.80s]  studying
